this morning the reviews are in and by most accounts president obama's republican rival held his own and then some. the pressure was on mitt romney, who needed a turn-around last night. president obama came into the debate ahead in every battleground state with an estimated 60 million americans watching on tv, cable and the web, moderator jim lehre rechlt asked can you put more people to work? romney says he would cut taxes and regulations on small businesses. a proposal the president claims would help the rich at others' expense. >> the average middle class family with children would pay about $2,000 more. >> virtually everything he said is inaccurate. >> it is not possible to come up with enough deductions and loophole that say only affect high-income individuals to avoid either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class. it's math. it's arithmetic. >> a major debate moment came when the debate switched to health care. when president obama criticized romney's plan for a private medicare option. romney fired back saying the president weakened the economy by his focus on healt

brian, is the report expected to give president obama a boost after this week's debate? i'm sure he's going to turn it that way. >> reporter: you know what, laura, looking at these numbers, i think you can call these an october surprise. this is what politicians hope and dream will happen. this is certainly an interesting turn of events here. we got the numbers we expected. let's look at them. expected 115,000, we got 114,000. that's not a barn burner. but the 7.8%, that is a drop from 8.1 to 7.8% unemployment. that is the lowest since the day president obama took office. that gives the president a chance to argue today that he has been slowly but steadily rebuilding on the economy. mitt romney, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to say the president hasn't been doing it enough, hasn't been doing it well enough and he could do it better. but this is a surprising number. the reason we have the sudden drop, we expected it to particular up a point. the reason it went down is because the july and august numbers have been revised upward pretty dramatically. we're talking ab

good morning. >> good morning, jenna. >> mike talked about fund-raising. both campaigns are in their final push as the election is just a month away. president obama's campaign is nearing the $1 billion mark this election year as far as raising funds. how much of an impact does this type of money have as you near the election? >> well, it becomes important because there's still a lot of views being shaped about the race through negative advertising that you see in the battleground states. and so, you know, i don't think campaign cash is going to be a huge issue for either side but it is a measure of some enthusiasm which right now is benefiting republicans a bit more and certainly romney helped himself in that regard with such a strong debate. >> political pundits will tell you mitt romney won the debate on wednesday night. apparently voters agree. according to gallup's daily tracking poll, obama's three-point lead, 49% to 46% down from a five-point lead reported the day before. was the debate the game changer that the romney campaign was looking for? >> i
